Among other topics, Garlinghouse discussed the current situation with cryptocurrency regulation in the U.S. and the ongoing Ripple-SEC legal battle.

Garlinghouse then stated that Ripple spent more than $150 million during its three-year legal battle with the SEC, pointing out that the same approach cannot be done with every single token. At the end of his interview, the CEO said that he expects the resolution of the Ripple-SEC case "very soon," however, he cannot "predict exactly when the judge will rule there."
